Experimental Design for the Life Sciences teaches students how to effectively design experiments, to ensure that today's students are equipped with the skills they need to be the researchers of tomorrow. With a refreshingly approachable and articulate style, the book explains the essential elements of experimental design in clear, practical terms, so that the reader can grasp and apply even the most challenging concepts, including power analysis and pseudoreplication.

Emphasising throughout the inter-relatedness of experimental design, statistics, and ethical considerations, the book ensures that students really understand experimental design in the broader context of biological research, using examples drawn from the primary literature to show to the student how the theory is applied in active research.
